February 18, 2010

Today I'm thankful for good books and more SUNSHINE!


The weather seems to be looking up.  I actually got outside in short sleeves for a short while today.


I, for one, will be glad to see the end of the wood splitting . . .


tree cutting . . .


stove filling weather!  Bring on SPRING!  I'm more than ready!


After getting to bed around 1:15 a.m. and getting up at 5:00 a.m., I couldn't believe how much energy I had.  I ran through my morning chores, and then tried to lay down and rest . . . but sleep wouldn't come.  I ended up finishing the book I started last night at bedtime, and then headed upstairs to put my daily layout together, and edit a few more photos.  When I went out to chore today, I decided to look for something with color, and shoot in RAW mode for the first time.  I love the results!  The little briars above were a perfect subject to start out with.


And I quickly moved on to the garden to help Dave put plastic over some of the beds, to get the soil warming up in preparation for planting.  I couldn't believe I found some remnants of last years crop still hanging on the vine.


Of course Eli had to help out too. 


Fuzz Face wasn't much help, but she was a cute subject, and I couldn't resist getting this shot of her laying on her back soaking up the sunshine.

Right now, I'm still feeling energized . . . like I need to clean or something . . . but I'm going to curb the urge and head downstairs to feed the family.  I'm hoping sleep will come quickly tonight.

  3. Looks like you don't have any favorite today. I have one in mind but I'll leave the decision up to you..

    Shooting in RAW is the best thing to do these days.
